Year 7 News
Welcome back! We hope everyone had a good break and are ready for Term 4!
On Monday 21 October, Year 7 students had their second dosage of the HPC vaccine. All went very smoothly. Well done to a very brave cohort!
At the end of this term students will have their Semester Exams which is a celebration of all their effort throughout Terms 3 and 4.
Students are currently studying the theme of Identity in English, they will be writing memoirs and poetry about their past, present and future. In History, students have created their own driving question about an ancient civilization of their choice, whereby students will analyse a source and present their final product to the public. In Math, students are studying transformation.
As part of the PE curriculum, students will complete a 3-week swimming programme during practical classes during weeks 6, 7 and 8 of Term 4.
This programme will focus on water safety which links directly to the assessment for Term 4. Students will learn types of safe entries, how to perform rescue techniques and which techniques are suitable for the condition of the person being rescued.
Payment and consent is now available via Compass or may be done at the front office and closes Monday 4 November.
Students are currently studying Body Image in Health this term, focusing on the driving question, “How can we encourage young people to love themselves for who they are?” Students have already shown great interest in the topic and are passionate to make change!
This term we are offering a range of clubs for students in Years 7-9 to enjoy during allocated lunchtimes across the week, they include;
- Gaming Club
- Art Club
- Study Club
- K-Pop Club
- Running Club (before school on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in preparation for the Colour Fun Run)
On behalf of teachers and students I’d like to congratulate to our Girls Basketball team and the Boys Tennis team on making it through to the Metropolitan Western Region Competition. Both teams have been working tirelessly in preparation for the big event. Well done! Wishing you the best of luck.
Keep up the great work Year 7s! Ms Casha- Year 7 Coordinator
